　　The Road to Success

　　成功之道

　　Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is "aim high". I would not give a fit for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive. Say to yourself, "My place is at the top." Be king in your dreams.

　　假如你已經(jīng)被錄用，并且有了一個(gè)良好的開端，我對(duì)你的建議是：要志存高遠(yuǎn)。一個(gè)年輕人，如采不把自己想象成一家大公司未來的老板或者是合伙人，那我會(huì)對(duì)他不屑一顧。不論職位有多高，你的內(nèi)心都不要滿足于做一個(gè)總管、領(lǐng)班或者總經(jīng)理。要對(duì)自己說：我要邁向頂尖!要斗坎就做你夢(mèng)想中的國(guó)王!

　　And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead it in, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery and know the most about it.

　　成功的首要條件和最大秘訣就是:把你的精力、思想和資本全都集中在你正從事的事業(yè)上。一旦開始從事某種職業(yè)，就要下定決心在那一領(lǐng)域闖出一片天地來;做這一行業(yè)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人物，采納每一點(diǎn)改進(jìn)之心，采用最優(yōu)良的設(shè)備，對(duì)專業(yè)知識(shí)熟稔于心。

　　The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here there, and everywhere. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." is all wrong. I tell you to "put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket." Look round you and take notice, men w ho do that not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that breaks most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up. One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.

　　一些公司的失敗就在于他們分散了資金，因?yàn)檫@就意味著分散了他們的精力。他們向這方面投資，又向那方面投資;在這里投資，在那里投資，到處都投資。 “不要把所有的雞蛋放在一個(gè)籃子里“的說法大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)。我要對(duì)你說：“把所有的雞蛋都放在一個(gè)籃子里，然后小心地看好那個(gè)籃子。”看看你周圍，你會(huì)注意到：這么做的人其實(shí)很少失敗?？垂芎蛿y帶一個(gè)籃子并不太難。人們總是試圖提很多籃子，所以才打破這個(gè)國(guó)家的大部分雞蛋。提三個(gè)籃子的人，必須把一個(gè)頂在頭上，而這個(gè)籃子很可能倒下來，把他自己絆倒。美國(guó)商人的一個(gè)缺點(diǎn)就是不夠?qū)Ｗⅰ?/p>

　　To summarize what I have said: aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; do not touch liquor, or if at all only at meals; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm's interest yours; break orders always to save owners; concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket; expenditure always within revenue; lastly, be not impatient, for as Emerson says, "no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves."

　　把我的話歸納一下：要志存高遠(yuǎn);不要出入酒吧;要滴滴不沾，或要喝也只在用餐時(shí)喝少許;不要做投機(jī)買賣;不要簽署支付超過儲(chǔ)備的現(xiàn)金利潤(rùn)的款項(xiàng);要把公司的利益當(dāng)作自己的利益;取消訂貨的目的永遠(yuǎn)是為了挽救貨主;要專注;要把所有的雞蛋放在一個(gè)籃子里，然后小心地看好它;要量入為出;最后，要有耐心，正如愛默生所言，“誰都無法阻止你最終成功，除非你自己承認(rèn)自己失敗。”

　　Advice for Graduates

　　給大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的幾點(diǎn)忠告

　　First, every time you celebrate an achievement, be thankful to those who made it possible. Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were in and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. Going forward, the ability to teach yourself of a great liberal arts education and will be the key to your success. To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late n night discussions, hug them. Also, of course, thank Harvard. Should you forget, there's an alumni association to remind you.

　　第一，每次慶祝你取得成就的時(shí)候，不要忘記所有助你一臂之力的人。要感謝你的父母和支持你的朋友，要感謝那些啟發(fā)過你的教授，尤其要感謝那些演講拙劣的教技，因?yàn)樗麄兤仁鼓阕詫W(xué)。從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)看，自學(xué)能力是優(yōu)秀的文科教育中必不可少的，將成為你成功的關(guān)鍵。你還要去擁抱你的同學(xué)，感謝他們同你進(jìn)行過的許多次徹夜長(zhǎng)談，這為你的教育帶來了無法衡量的價(jià)值。當(dāng)然，你還要感謝哈佛大學(xué)。不過即使你忘了這一點(diǎn)，校友會(huì)也會(huì)未提醒你。

　　Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. In all negotiations, don't bargain for the last, little advantage Leave the change on the table. In your collaboration, always remember that "credit" is not a conserved quantity In a successful collaboration, everybody gets 90 percent of the credit.

　　第二，在你們未來的人生中，做一個(gè)慷慨大方的人。在任何談判中，都把最后一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)利益留給對(duì)方。不要把桌上的錢都拿走。在合作中，不要把榮譽(yù)留給自己。成功合作的任何一方，都應(yīng)獲得全部榮譽(yù)的90%。

　　My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. If you don't have a passion, don't be satisfied until you find one Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something. When I was your age, I was incredibly single-minded in my goal to be a physicist. After college, I spent eight years as a graduate student and postdoc at Berkeley, and then nine years at Bell Labs. During that time, my central focus and professional joy was physics.

　　我的第三個(gè)忠告是：當(dāng)你開始生活的新階段時(shí)，請(qǐng)追隨你的愛好。如采你沒有愛好，就去找，找不到絕不罷休。生命太短暫，所以不能空手走過，你必須對(duì)某樣?xùn)|西傾注你的深情。我在你們這個(gè)年齡，是超級(jí)的一根筋，我的目標(biāo)就是非成為物理學(xué)家不可。本科畢業(yè)后，我在加州大學(xué)伯克利分校又待了8年，讀完了研究生，獲得了博士后，然后去貝爾實(shí)驗(yàn)室待了9年。在那些年中，我關(guān)注的中心和職業(yè)上的全部樂趣，都來自物理學(xué)。

　　Here is my final piece of advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride won't be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made.

　　我還有最后一個(gè)忠告，興趣愛好固然重要，但是不應(yīng)是你的唯一目標(biāo)。當(dāng)你白發(fā)蒼蒼、垂垂老矣、回首人生時(shí)，你需要為自己做過的事感到自豪。你所獲得的物質(zhì)財(cái)富和得到的榮譽(yù)都不是自豪的源泉。只有那些受你影響、被你改變過的人和事，才會(huì)讓你感到自豪

　　Cherishing What You Have Now, and Striving for the Future (II)

　　珍惜現(xiàn)在，把握未來(2)

　　All Above all, however, have a purpose in life. Life is not about living but about striving. When you get up, get up motivated. Live with a perpetual sense of urgency. And make at least part of that purpose about something bigger than you.

　　然而，最重妥的是，生活要有目標(biāo)。生活不僅僅妥活著，而是要不斷追求。每天早晨起來時(shí)都要帶著一種動(dòng)機(jī)。生活要時(shí)刻有緊迫感。而且在制定個(gè)人目標(biāo)時(shí)，至少有一部分要超出個(gè)人能力范圍。

　　There are great careers. There are also great causes.

　　有偉大的事業(yè)，也要有偉大的理想。

　　At least let some of them into your lives. Giving lifts the heart in a way that getting never can. Maybe it really was Oscar Wilde who said: "No one ever died, saying if only I had one more day at the office."

　　至少要讓其中的一部分理想融入你們的生活。給予可以提升，心靈，而索取在某種程度上永遠(yuǎn)不可能做到?；蛟S真的像奧斯卡·王爾德所說的那樣：“渴望再多工作一天的人就永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)死去。”

　　One small but shocking sentence: each year three million children die in Africa from preventable disease or conflict.

　　有一句雖簡(jiǎn)短卻很震撼的話：非洲每天有300萬兒童死于可預(yù)防性疾病和暴力沖突。

　　The key word? Preventable.

　　關(guān)鍵詞是什么呢?是“可預(yù)防性”。

　　When all is said and done, there is usually more said than done.

　　當(dāng)談及言出必行時(shí)，人們通常都是說得多做得少。

　　Be a doer not a commentator. Seek responsibility rather than shirk it. People often ask me about leadership, I say: leadership is about wanting the responsibility to be on your shoulders, not ignoring its weight but knowing someone has to carry it and, reaching out for that person to be you. Leaders are heat-seekers not heat-deflectors.

　　要做一個(gè)實(shí)千家而不是評(píng)論家。要勇于承擔(dān)責(zé)任，不要逃避退縮。人們經(jīng)常問我關(guān)于領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力的事情;領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力就是知道必須有人站出來承擔(dān)責(zé)任，而且要努力成為那個(gè)人。領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者是勇于承擔(dān)責(zé)任而非逃避責(zé)任的人。
